Automatic Route Selection (ARS)
The system automatically selects the least expensive route available at the time a long
distance call is made on the outside (CO) line which has enabled the ARS feature. It is not
necessary to dial the access code of the least expensive carrier.

To make a call via the least expensive carrier, the dialed number is modified. The following
are modification examples.

Automatic Outside (CO) Line Access Number
An Automatic Line Access number (9 or 0) can be programmed. When an extension user
dials an Automatic Line Access number before a telephone number, an available outside
(CO) line from the assigned lines in program [419] is seized automatically. If “0” is selected
in program [121], the operator call will be “9” automatically. If “9” is selected in program
[121], the operator call will be “0” automatically.
